Bill Levine, “Thematic and Solo Art Exhibitions in the Long Eighteenth Century,” “Animating the Spirit of High Art: de Loutherbourg’s Eidophusikon as a Critique of Royal Academy Exhibitions,” Saturday, 2-3:30

Have I forgotten anyone? Planning to come? Let us know your plans. I’d especially love to hear from other 18th century bloggers to see if we can manage a rare face to face meeting. I’ll be in town Friday afternoon, staying through Sunday.

Thanks for this, David! I was just checking in to see what might have been posted on the conference.

I’d very much like to be part of a “meetup” of eighteenth-century bloggers. I arrive on Thursday just in time for my first time slot, and then I’ll stay through Saturday late afternoon (or maybe Sunday early morning… I’m driving).

I’m on the schedule in a couple of time slots:

George H. Williams, “‘Sex and the City’ in the Eighteenth Century,” “The Power of Wow in Teaching the Eighteenth Century Now” (Roundtable), Thursday 2:30-4:00

A meetup would be fun, especially since so many people here are intrepid when it comes to the new public sphere and blog under their own names. You’d think we’d have picked up a tip or two from Herr Swift about the virtues of anonymity…

Alas, when I log into the WordPress admin interface, there is no option to add to Long 18th. It’s might be too much of a hassle to wrestle with login issues while the conference is underway, but if possible, could someone check on what my username is for this particular blog?

Christopher,

How do you know Long 18th contributors don’t also blog pseudonymously or anonymously? 😉

I’m also at the Hilton Garden and up for some meetup activity. I’ve already circled all these panels and will do what I can to attend most of them.

Alas, I remember my first conferences in 2002-3, when I attended all the panels that sounded vaguely promising, rather than filling up my schedule with friends and colleagues. The latter is, of course, immensely gratifying since my own friends and colleagues happen to be such excellent scholars, but the experience of scheduling is quite different.
